Consciousness will not die, it will only taste or experience death!
After this experience, it will continue to live...
Death is the disconnection of the tie between the integrality of consciousness-spirit from the brain-body.
What I'm trying to explain is something else though...
The extent to which the current consciousness realizes the reality here in this dimension of life, determines how it will continue its life uninterruptedly with the radial (Nur based) body after it loses its tie to the brain.
Thus it has been said, "He who was blind in the world will be blind in the hereafter", he who hasn't realized the truth before the experience of death can never realize it after death!
On the other hand those who realize the truth and live accordingly in the worldly life, will develop certain forces, and with this they will be able to continue their life in the Realm of the grave (barzakh).
In the past some claimed "everything is matter" and some claimed "there may also be a spiritual world somewhere far and beyond in space"... whereas today science has made it evident that these are not two different locations and that it's actually the same thing in the perception of the perceiver.
Thus it has been realized that in terms of his body and brain the person is in the material world, and in terms of his consciousness and spirit (radial wave body) his in the spiritual world.
There are innumerous research and broadcast in the West today about brain waves and how they affect each other.
If man is the vicegerent on earth according to the Quran...
If the human brain is the central force formed by the 'breath' of the countless names and qualities of the One referenced as Allah...
And if the human brain is in constant interaction with its surrounding and the info loaded waves it receives and outputs constantly...
Then is it not possible to be in contact with the Nabis and Rasuls who are also still 'living'..?
Don't take this as a conversation between two people though!
The brain is a receiver-transmitter just like a radio that's open to receiving many different frequencies...
Thus it receives waves that are suitable to its receptor from even people it doesn't know, then claims, "Suddenly I had this epiphany!"... One wonders from where???
Let's remember the function of mirror neurons... Centuries ago it was already known that people were always affected by those around them – i.e. the function of mirror neurons!
Indeed, the people we spend your time with or the brains that comprise the communities in which you reside find a way into your brain and program you, whether for the good or the bad… How do you think social manias, uprisings or social trends come about?
The brain can also tune into the frequencies of a single brain, this is known as telepathy...
